1 Imaginary Voyages Derrick Moors , 1988 single work criticism
— Appears in: La Trobe Library Journal , Autumn vol. 11 no. 41 1988; (p. 8-14) "Seventeenth and eighteenth century exploration was responsible for three broad kinds of travel literature: genuine travel accounts; imaginary or extraordinary voyages; and a third group which might be termed travel liars, or pseudo travellers, whose intention it was to deceive. This second group, imaginary voyages, were to become almost as popular in their day as authentic travel accounts. The genre included works of a realistic, philosophical, utopian and fantastic nature and, while not generally written to deceive, they have, in a few notable cases, done just that." (p.1)
